California Thrasher

By Wowoeirkfkrimfkrifkkf-iOs tufnc5The app is good and works well. Better than the old app. When I was looking through the app I saw that the last song for California thrasher was actually California Towhee. Just a small fix. Still a great app. I was happy to see the yellow footed gull range map fixed. - autor:Wowoeirkfkrimfkrifkkf - title:California Thrasher

Best birding app

By mistermicrophone-iOs tufnc5This app has always been my go-to for bird identification, and the new version is a huge improvement. - autor:mistermicrophone - title:Best birding app

Bummer

By CNM7-iOs tufnc1Apparently, I’m too late to get the discount on this new app even though I purchased the other. Haven’t used it yet, but I really feel like its a slap in the face to have to buy the new app at full price. I’ll update once I’ve spent time using the new version. So disappointed. - autor:CNM7 - title:Bummer

Worth the Upgrade

By BrokenHeart211-iOs tufnc5I wasn’t happy having to pay for the upgrade but now that I have it I am happy to invest in the up keep of this well written program. A better designed interface makes it easier to find the bird you just saw. My only complaint is on the Smart Search. It’s much better but it’s still not so smart. More detailed filters would be a big improvement. Example: Your only options are visiting a feeder, swimming and flying. How about wading birds or birds sitting in a field. - autor:BrokenHeart211 - title:Worth the Upgrade

I like the changes

By angbranch-iOs tufnc4Can I ask for a note taking area that displays on the written description page for each specie. I like to write field marks I notice, or ID hints in my book. My book was recently stolen along with 10 years of my notes so I would like to have this in my app vs in a book that can be lost. The “my list” function is useless to me with ebird and, honestly in the wrong area as it does not show on the page of the bird itself. - autor:angbranch - title:I like the changes

Best NA Field Guide gets an upgrade

By chiral guy-iOs tufnc5The 2nd Edition Sibley is the gold standard for North American field guides. This app is amazing, featuring Sibley’s gorgeous artwork, new range maps, bird calls and songs, and a detailed written description. The first version of this app had a few issues, but the new update has fixed them up. This app isn’t cheap, but it’s totally worth it for the serious bird lover. - autor:chiral guy - title:Best NA Field Guide gets an upgrade

Wrong.

By Joe_58-iOs tufnc4It is wrong to charge existing customers $10 for this “upgrade” when we have been users of this app for a long time now. Not to mention purchasing the hard copies as well.
Do not delete your earlier app! This new version has too many issues that need to be addressed which I’m sure they will get to but it isn’t ready for prime time yet. Colors are off again as well as the range maps.
And no eBird integration? Really?
And no way to port my data and notes over from the earlier app?
*Updating my review to thank the developer for the quick update to correct some of the issues that were brought up. And I’m assuming we will be seeing more incremental updates as we go along.
Just a suggestion, how about making some Sibley stickers for iMessage? Sibley’s artwork is terrific and it’d be fun to be able to use some of them in your messages. - autor:Joe_58 - title:Wrong.

Update fixed issues.

By Goshawk62-iOs tufnc5Looks like the update fixed the color issue and range map issues. Great and comprehensive guide to North American birds. More species added, more plumages depicted than other guides. Compare feature can really help both beginners and others work out a correct ID - autor:Goshawk62 - title:Update fixed issues.
